Pro Football Rumors is in the process of creating a glossary of terms related to free agency, the salary cap, and other areas of the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement. If you’re confused by our references to concepts like franchise players or reserve/futures contracts, or just want further clarification on the specifics, this tool should help clear things up.
We’ll continue to add entries to this glossary, which can be found anytime on the right sidebar under “PFR Features.” If there’s a specific concept you’d like us to cover, please let us know. Here’s what we have so far:
- Contract Bonuses
